A US-based emergency medicine podcast active since 2015, led by Dr Anand Swaminathan, providing brief yet high-yield updates on emergency medicine practice, evidence appraisals, and critical clinical insights.

Severe flank pain radiating to the groin can still be renal colic when haematuria is absent. It pairs risk-matched imaging with NSAID-first analgesia where safe, and flags infection behind obstruction as needing rapid escalation.

Fever, tachycardia, agitation, vomiting, jaundice or heart failure in severe hyperthyroidism is a clinical diagnosis before a laboratory threshold. Open this for treatment sequence: beta blockade, propylthiouracil, delayed iodine, steroids, fluids, cooling and trigger search.

A breathless haemodialysis patient who stays warm,oedematous, and symptomatic after dialysis may have high-output heart failure rather than routine low-output decompensation. Preserved ejection fraction doesnot exclude the diagnosis, and AV fistula assessment with POCUS can prevent unsafe reflex nitrate use.

Start here. The episode keeps the first 5-10 minutes after ROSC in view, where re-arrest and shock still shape outcome. Early invasive monitoring, push-dose vasopressors, pragmatic MAP targets, and a deliberate search with labs, toxicology and pan-CT/CTA make it the clearest practical listen of the day.
